About MCP Key Server

What is MCP Key Server: Secure API Vault & Seamless NPM Integration?

MCP Key Server is a purpose-built solution designed to tackle two critical challenges for modern dev teams: safeguarding sensitive API credentials and streamlining npm package management. This robust platform combines military-grade encryption for API storage with a frictionless npm deployment engine, all wrapped in a Dockerized architecture ready for AWS cloud scaling. Think of it as your digital vault for secrets and a Swiss Army knife for package dependency handling.

How to Use MCP Key Server: Secure API Vault & Seamless NPM Integration?

Getting started involves three core steps:
1. Configure your environment with Python/Node.js/Docker
2. Deploy the containerized stack via docker-compose
3. Authenticate users through the React frontend portal
The system auto-detects AWS credentials for cloud deployments, and the npm service resolves dependencies through a secured proxy layer, ensuring every package installation is auditable and isolated.

MCP Key Server FAQ

FAQ from MCP Key Server: Secure API Vault & Seamless NPM Integration?

Is the API storage truly secure?

Yes - keys are encrypted at rest and in transit, with optional HSM integration. Access requires dual-factor authentication and role-based permissions.

Does the npm service work with private registries?

Absolutely! The proxy supports scoped packages and can mirror private registries while maintaining security policies.

Can I use this without AWS?

The core stack is cloud-agnostic, but AWS deployment scripts are pre-configured. Custom cloud providers require minor YAML adjustments.

How is it different from other key managers?

Unique npm integration, Docker-first design, and built-in CI/CD hooks make this a full-stack solution rather than just a key storage tool.
